@ The Round Table – Feeling Used: Are Next Gen Anti-Used Game Measures Just… Anti-Gamer?
An Introduction from Louis Santiago: It’s finally that time again. The Console Wars. It seems like ages since they tore through the gaming world. But, really, they haven’t fully started yet–we’re still just in the sing song phase of things where everyone’s excitedly imagining what the next batch of systems will look like and trying … Read more

Chronicle Review: The Best “Real World” Superhero Movie Ever?
Hancock, eat your heart out. What happens when you combine the gimmick of the Blair Witch Project, the tone of Jumper, and the personal struggle of Akira‘s Tetsuo all into one movie? You get Chronicle. And that’s a good thing. This was Josh Trank‘s directorial debut, and both his and screenwriter Max Landis‘s first work on … Read more
‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’ – New Worst Superhero Movie Ever or Just One of the Worst Superhero Movies Ever?
An Intro from Louis Santiago: As a comic book reader and a fan of (some) comic book movies, I honestly couldn’t say I was at all excited for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. The first movie was so incredibly dull that it ranked up there on my list of worst superhero movies of all time. However, SoV … Read more
Author Spotlight – Peter V. Brett
Brett is one of those authors that I very much associate with my career at Borders. During my years with that company, I met a lot of my favorite authors and those experiences varied from author to author. Some were good, some were bad, and some were just awkward. I remember that I felt pretty … Read more
The Best Little Enemy That Couldn’t
And now, Chaosrayne presents… a loving ode… to the Mudcrab. For me, 2011 meant one bright shining moment for video games: SKYRIM. This game was everything for which I could have hoped. But one thing stood out for me. Was it the new improved leveling system? Maybe it was the new magic system or the … Read more
Fantasy in Review: Saladin Ahmed’s “Throne of the Crescent Moon”
I first heard Saladin Ahmed speak about Throne of the Crescent Moon and read from it a year or so back. And I was hooked. Here was the book I’d been waiting for from the vast faceless hordes of fantasy authors out there. It had that Middle Eastern flair and setting that I’d been craving … Read more
A Look Back at Things to Come – The Gentleman Monster on “Before Watchmen”
So there are these Watchmen Prequels coming out from DC under the title Before Watchmen. I’d normally be against this, but the creative talent is better than most of what DC Comics publishes right now. RORSCHACH (4 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: Lee Bermejo MINUTEMEN (6 issues) – Writer/Artist: Darwyn Cooke COMEDIAN (6 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: J.G. … Read more
“The Untold Story” – The Amazing Spider-Man Preview Event in Manhattan
When I first saw pictures of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, I was skeptical. Weird, basketball textured suit? Spider-sneakers? For this long-time Spider-Man fan, the pics were disappointing to say the least. The first trailer didn’t make that skepticism didn’t go away. And when Chaos Mechanica told me about the “Untold Story” event that he’d heard … Read more
Buy It, Browse It, Burn It – Louis Santiago and the Gentleman Monster on the new “Scarlet Spider”
Louis Santiago (LS): I remember hearing about this comic during the ASM panel at NYCC last year. To a degree, I was excited–at the very least to have a new addition to the Spider family. But I then proceeded to forget about the title in lieu of other comics (and tons of games) I was interested in–probably made … Read more
